“My only competitor
is the person
I was yesterday.”
This quote is encouraging us
to measure our own success through personal growth
rather than ‘societal standards’.
Socrates emphasized the importance
of self-knowledge and personal virtues.
Taking the time to
increase and stretch our own skills
will show “us”
what we are capable of and who we are and can be.
This promotes
creativity and innovation
which is essential
in ‘navigating’ through today’s challenges.
This encourages us
to have a ‘transformative’ approach
to personal development.
Be prepared to change
so that you can become
the best version of yourself possible.
By prioritizing self-improvement,
we will promote mental well-being,
which is so important in today’s world.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on vision—when they are not corrected—have the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in “so-called experts” is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.
